This invention relates to iinprovements in fibre board, eliminates theabove dificulties file cases and has particular reference to. a bydispensing with the use of tape. It is collapsible type of caseemploying a sliding made from a single blanlr of material which, drawer.as shown in the drawings, comprises general- An object of the inventionis to provide an ly two coacting sections. One of said secimproved outercasing of simple and practical tions includes the top 1 having the twoside construction adapted to receive a sliding flanges 2 and 3. Theclosed end of the casdrawcr and being made from a single blank: ing isformed by. the back t which is engaged of material creased and folded insuch manby the flaps 5 and 6 so as to be reinforced her that the use oftape or other securing thereby when the casing is setup. The other meansfor retaining the section in a set up section of the casing includes thebottom 7 position is entirely eliminated, provided with the side flanges8 and 9 which The inventive idea involved is capable of carry the flaps5 and 6 at their rear ends, receivingavariety of mechanical expressions,and is further provided with the extension is one-of which for thepurposes of illustration 10 foldable upon the same for reinforcing isshown in the accompanying drawings purposes.

Such cases as thepresent one are usuuse of tape, and in which the sides thereof so allymade of corrugated fibre board and are are adequately reinforced bythree plies of customarily stacked one upon the other for the materialof which the blank is formed the purpose of economy in space. Thereforethereby imparting suflicient strength to the the casings, must, ofnecessity, have the recasing to enable it to withstand the stresse:quired strength and rigidity, particularly to which it may be subjected.The casing 0'. 85 along the side walls thereof, to withStandL thepresent invention is suitable for use ii the weight of other filingcases placed therenj ti i any d i type f i on.
